The Third Horse & Rider
Horse (Equus ferus caballus) & man (Homo sapiens) the perfect pairing of speed and grace.
There can be very few things that equal the spectacle of a horse & rider running full out. There is a fluid motion that finds the best of both species. It is said the Midwestern Indians would ride bareback with the ability to hang alongside the steed firing arrows beneath it's neck into a herd of buffalo. Good hides sold for $3.00 a piece, with exceptional wooly Winter hides bringing $50.00.
No wonder the London Jockey Clubhouse Gin sports a horse & rider. The fascination persists. I picked up my third London Jockey at the Keene show nearly 15 years ago. The bottle had been under the table waiting a special buyer. I couldn't believe my good fortune. It sits perfectly on top shelf. One thing I've noticed about the various London Jockey Clubhouse Gins is the difference in horse & rider ~ some full out to the finish. This pair have finished the race, as he sits up rather straight in the saddle. Good color, crude top & impecable condition put this bottle in the winner's circle.
